Greetings!
I'll be gradually moving most labs instances to new hardware over the
coming 7-10 days. For virtually all instances this move will be
invisible to users -- the worst case scenario is that an instance will
freeze for a minute or two during the final post-copy sync. I've already
moved several projects without incident.
Nevertheless, services which have extremely touchy timeouts may error
out or throw warnings. For example, a few things in deployment-prep
sent 'service down' alerts which lasted a few seconds before being
resolved. So if you see something like that, it's probably a result of
the move.
I will be moving the Tools instances first, starting tomorrow morning
(approximately 14:00 UTC). The tools migration will take around 18
hours. On Friday morning I'll start a scripted move of all other
instances; the complete move will take around 7 days.
If this process concerns you and you'd like your instances moved at a
pre-determined time, feel free to contact me off-list and we can make an
appointment for your project.
-Andrew
